yesterday steve and i found out that someone put their apartment application in before us for the place we wanted in chicago, so we can't have that exact place in uptown anymore. today we decided to sign up for our second choice apartment, which looks pretty similar to the one we were going to get. it's in wrigleyville, it's really close to the "l", just a short walk to the chicago diner, and there is a whole foods close by. sounds pretty great to me. i am actually more excited about this place now more than the one we were originally going to go with. 

i can't believe the journal challenge is over with. it was a lot of fun! i loved all the prompts janel came up with. she is going to be doing another journaling class, but this time for the cost of $10. she is putting the money toward her and her husband's adoption fund. they plan on adopting a child in the next year or two. you can check out more about it here.''

i've gotten two pen pal letters in mail so far. thank you kellie and kristie! i can't wait to write you girls back!
